We’ve been stymied for months trying to trace what’s happening to taxpayer dollars. No matter how hard we tried, we kept hitting dead ends. I’m not alone. Even members of Congress are in the dark. Even the nerdiest budget wonks. So we wrote about why.

“Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill Monday that will bar transgender people from using restrooms that align with their gender identities in state-owned buildings and public schools, including universities, with fines of up to $125,000 for institutions that violate the law.”

Breaking: Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters has resigned after porn allegations. Walters is the guy who directed public schools to incorporate the Christian Bible and Ten Commandments into instruction, which triggered lawsuits over church–state separation.

YES on Prop 50 in California !

In a year with impressive yields, farmers and ranchers from Arkansas to Montana are getting whacked by the unpredictable trade market as a result of the republicans’ tariffs. #Montana #MTPol monicatranel.substack.com/p/iowa-corn-...

omg finally

Sshhhh…don’t tell Pete Hegseth.

Call for action 👇🏼

The biggest snowflake the sky ever spat out.

Temu Goebbels

He plagiarized Joseph Goebbels from the 1930’s

It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"

I’d seen the nutty excerpts of Miller’s speech at Kirk’s memorial, but hadn’t seen the whole thing. It’s easily the most unhinged, unapologetically fascist rhetoric I’ve ever seen from someone in US government. It’s more of a discount, Dwight Schrute Goebbels than Goebbels. But still.

New Magda Goebbels just dropped

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Georgia’s senators want answers from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on why detainees are dying at the highest rate ever recorded. 10 in the first 6 months, 15 total, after Noem cut oversight positions focused on civil rights. Humanity is not optional, no matter what your views are.

If you've never heard a speech by Hitler's Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels, this speech by Stephen Miller was plagiarized from JG's 1932 speech, "The Storm Is Coming." And these fascist freaks wonder why the democratic free world sees them as Nazis.

They’ve being pinning targets on the back of more and more minorities since trump descended the escalator and pinned his first target on the back of Mexicans. No one should think they’re safe; the list only grows longer.

Republicans are on the wrong side of the shutdown. They control the White House, the House and the Senate, but they still need Democrats to keep the government open. All we’re asking for is their help to save healthcare for millions of families about to lose coverage. 👀

Republicans, always coming up with a new way to buy votes.

Watch ICE abuses on protesters in their Broadview, Illinois facility : 1 - ICE thugs repeatedly shot a clergyman with sting ball rounds until he fell on his knees. "God is watching you, and you will pay for this !" he yelled at them. Friends poured water to sooth his eyes.

2 - A woman attempted to block a vehicle leaving the facility. She was maced, thrown to the ground and shot repeatedly with sting ball rounds. Then, ICE pushed in and arrested her as her friends were treating her face.

3 -Despite these horrors, do not get distracted and keep asking : #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinClientList

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The true scope of DOGE’s attack on the federal government remains unknown.

Looking forward to the perennial 'War on Christmas.'

They may have taken the statue down, but the internet is forever. And we are not distracted. ☺️🐈‍⬛ #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Absolutely true!

Trump is following the plans by project 2025 and yes, the goal is for America to become completely white homogenized bullshit! And something needs to be done to stop this man before it’s way too late before These horrible people in this fucking MAGA movement >>completely take over the USA.

I’ve experienced both versions. The unpaid one was short tho. The paid one was back in the day when we actually had budgets and VA was funded a few years ahead.

Will you be paid while working during the shutdown or will you receive pay after the shutdown?

And they should still shut it down (full transparency: I’m “essential” so not as much at stake) enough is enough.

This happened because Trump is seen by Putin as being weak.

Jimmy Kimmel said more in his return monologue about uniting the divisions in this country, our freedoms, and our rights than TFG ever did or ever will. The ass clown-in-chief needs to go. I hope to see the day.

Recent reports that the Trump administration is withholding roughly $400 million of military assistance to Taiwan are deeply disturbing. The pause is eerily similar to Trump’s summer 2019 withholding of security assistance to Ukraine, for reasons entirely unrelated to Kyiv’s defense needs.

I’ve heard #Epsteinaminophen is GREAT for that.

A Epstein files I O U And sometimes… Y did we allow a pedo get elected as president of the United States?

Jeffries: “There's no trust that exists between House Democrats and House Republicans at this particular point in time, given the fact that they've consistently tried to undermine bipartisan agreements that they themselves have reached.”

Copy KKKat

Brendan Carr did not “make a joke on social media,” he went on a podcast and said ABC had to take action against Kimmel or the FCC would revoke licenses! We all saw it! Ted Cruz quoted it on HIS podcast in a silly mafia accent!

Donald Trump’s climate denial is an abomination and a disgrace. History is watching, and future generations are counting on us to act.
